Do si Do: Central to this unit is the use every week of Baby’s Book; with is entitled ‘This is my Dance’. Why do we focus on rhythm and movement? When your baby emerges from the womb and the familiar, steady sound of mother’s heartbeat, his brain begins scanning the apparently disorganized world for patterns – elements of consistency to help him make order out of the chaos. Rhythmic activity provides the recognizable, predictable and patterned information your baby wants to latch on to.

Dream Pillow: There is a tenderness about Baby’s bedtime that makes it unlike any other time of day. Time slows down. The light changes. And a parent’s awareness is heightened. Every mother and father knows Baby’s breathing, her facial expressions, her cries, her wriggling, sighs and heavy eyelids that lead up to sleep – and often interrupt it during the night! Through the rituals of rocking, nursing, cuddling and singing, parents follow Baby’s cues to lull her to sleep. The loving interaction that defines these rituals is the essence of Dream Pillow. In this unit parents and caregivers are invited to enjoy bedtime closeness with Baby at any time of day by listening more closely, sharing the gifts of singing and talking to Baby and exploring and extending the music in Baby’s environment.
